"Through yoga i've moved my entire bones and organs around.
now i wish to move myself closer to the Dance.
Self cultivation through intelligent fitness
is a Warrior's Way through ignorance and the
karmic weight of our habits and unconscious
tendencies."

"I am so small I can barely be seen. How can this great love be inside of me? Look at your eyes. They are small, but they see enormous things." (Rumi)

"My practice of husbandry
is not different from my yoga practice;
to forgive more often
accept more quickly
embrace more deeply.
trying to find blame in our spouse's actions
or in those of our friends
or even in strangers
is like mining sand
from sandstone cliffs
or taking lava from lava flows
or silencing the song of wind through high desert spaces...
what is the purpose?
the Dance is - after all - a Dance of It All.
As part of my practice of Wholistic Fitness,
i do my best to stop blaming others at least long enough
to take a quick glance inside...
in that inner glance,
i sometimes see the Dance...
The Dance that is all around us, never ending.
Through yoga i've moved my entire bones and organs around.
now i wish to move myself closer to the Dance.
Self cultivation through intelligent fitness
is a Warrior's Way through ignorance and the
karmic weight of our habits and unconscious
tendencies. Happy or sad, rich or poor,
there is
a beat that reveals itself to us in daily life
that pulses with the Dance
the True Dance of the Tao in our bones.
Don't let ANYTHING or ANYONE stand in the
way of your brave Practice today."
